The red lipstick is to make me feel better about this morning's beauty fail.

If I look tired, it's because I got in a fight with a hair appliance and lost. I've lost so many irons and dryers to incompatible foreign voltages, but I can't help myself from trying! Today I woke up early to use my fabulous Wave Wand and spent upwards of 30 minutes putting gorgeous, romantic waves in the left side of my head, only for the Wand to give out and leave the other half untousled. So I had a half-head straight (blow-dried), half-head wavy situation on my shoulders. I had no choice but to scoop it up into a bun. It looks okay, but I was so bummed!

One thing that you'll be noticing in all of my posts is my red zodiac ribbon. My BFF Shuai told me that since it's my year, the year of the Snake,
I need to wear something RED every day until the next lunar year
begins. Many may shrug such a thing off, but when the granddaughter of a
Chinese Feng Shui and Numerology Master tells you to wear red, you wear
red!

I don't have a red ring or
anything that I could wear the whole year, so I took the ribbon off of
the candy bear I got for Valentine's Day. Chocolate and good luck :)

Giving a guest lecture in law class today about political corruption in the United States.
In turn, the students are going to tell me about political corruption in Armenia. It could take a while...

Anyway, to my Thursday outfit...

I didn't know what to wear this morning, so I went with this maritime-y
blouse because I know my nautically-inclined future-sister-in-law is
reading.

One of four pairs of boots I have in Armenia (five if you count my snow boots!)

Anchor Blouse-Target

Earrings- Gift from Italy

Beige Belt, from a Joneswear Dress- JC Penny

Jeans- Target

Boots- Nordstrom Rack

I had to take a hairdryer to my jeans because after two days they still weren't dry. I miss the convenience of dryers, but it's nice that my jeans aren't shrunken when I put them on after they're washed!

Buttoned-up on top and fun on bottom :)

This outfit is for having lunch with the girls, meetings, and catching up on work. Believe me, if I were teaching a class today, I wouldn't dare wear these sneakers. This is the first time I've been bold enough to wear them to campus!
